Psalms 51
1 For the leader. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet come to him after he had been with Bathsheba. In your kindness, O God, be gracious to me, in your own great pity blot out my transgressions.
Zborovođi. Psalam. Davidov. Kad je k Davidu došao prorok Natan poslije njegova grijeha Smiluj mi se, Bože, po milosrđu svome, po velikom smilovanju izbriši moje bezakonje!
2 Wash me clean of my guilt, make me pure of my sin.
Operi me svega od moje krivice, od grijeha me mojeg očisti!
3 For well I know my transgressions, my sin is ever before me.
Bezakonje svoje priznajem, grijeh je moj svagda preda mnom.
4 Against you, only you, have I sinned, and done that which is wrong in your sight: you therefore are just when you speak, and clear when you utter judgment.
Tebi, samom tebi ja sam zgriješio i učinio što je zlo pred tobom: pravedan ćeš biti kad progovoriš, bez prijekora kada presudiš.
5 See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Evo, grešan sam već rođen, u grijehu me zače majka moja.
6 It’s the innermost truth you desire, give me therefore true wisdom of heart.
Evo, ti ljubiš srce iskreno, u dubini duše učiš me mudrosti.
7 Purge me clean with hyssop, wash me whiter than snow.
Poškropi me izopom da se očistim, operi me, i bit ću bjelji od snijega!
8 Fill me with joy and gladness, let the bones you have broken rejoice.
Objavi mi radost i veselje, nek' se obraduju kosti satrvene!
9 Hide your face from my sins, and blot out my guilt altogether.
Odvrati lice od grijeha mojih, izbriši svu moju krivicu!
10 Create me a clean heart, O God, put a new steadfast spirit within me.
Čisto srce stvori mi, Bože, i duh postojan obnovi u meni!
11 Cast me not forth from your presence, withdraw not your holy spirit.
Ne odbaci me od lica svojega i svoga svetog duha ne uzmi od mene!
12 Give me back the joy of your help, with a willing spirit sustain me.
Vrati mi radost svoga spasenja i učvrsti me duhom spremnim!
13 I will teach your ways to transgressors, and sinners shall turn to you.
Učit ću bezakonike tvojim stazama, i grešnici tebi će se obraćati.
14 Save me from blood, O God, and my tongue shall ring out your faithfulness.
Oslobodi me od krvi prolivene, Bože, Bože spasitelju moj! Nek' mi jezik kliče pravednosti tvojoj!
15 Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall declare your praise.
Otvori, Gospodine, usne moje, i usta će moja naviještati hvalu tvoju.
16 For in sacrifice you have no pleasure, in gifts of burnt-offering no delight.
Žrtve ti se ne mile, kad bih dao paljenicu, ti je ne bi primio.
17 The sacrifice pleasing to God is a spirit that is broken; a heart that is crushed, O God, you will not despise.
Žrtva Bogu duh je raskajan, srce raskajano, ponizno, Bože, nećeš prezreti.
18 Do good in your pleasure to Zion, build the walls of Jerusalem.
U svojoj dobroti milostiv budi Sionu i opet sagradi jeruzalemske zidine!
19 Then will you welcome the due forms of sacrifice, then on your altars shall bullocks be offered.
Tada će ti biti mile žrtve pravedne i tad će se prinosit' teoci na žrtveniku tvojemu.
